OT:Is this the right forum for HTML help?
I need the ability on my site to let the user download a file by pressing a button.
That is no problem, but the file is a zip file that changes name each turn, i e NGC3_57.zip, NGC3_58.zip" etc.
I don't want to change the HTML code each turn, I just want to put the file in the right directory and remove the old one, then when you press the icon to download, it will choose the only file in that directory.
I can't see anyway to get wildcards in a HTML link, and I haven't found any good CGI script for it (Don't script myself).
Any ideas?
And I'd also like a way to make a list of all files in a directory on a HTML page with other contents, not a simple link to the directory. This list must also be dynamicly changed when the contents change. It's to let you see through the web page who has uploaded their turns, but not to download the files.
Suggestions??
(I only use Perl CGI, no java or ASP or other fancy stuff)
